The Hermit of New York" says in
reference to reporters difficulties: Few
have any idea of the difficulty often met
in obtaining information. Much of the
news printed in the local columns every
week is obtained from unwilling lips, and
the reporter is often obliged to hunt for
facts against every difficulty. Instead of
being surprised at occasional inaccura-
cies [ often wonder that so much correct
Intelligence is obtained so rapidly. Many
people object to giving information be-
cause they fear it may lead to future
trouble, while on the other hand many
of those who are willing to talk only lead
to error through ignorance" The writ
er had i'll mind city work on a daily pa
per, yet in a large measure the observa-
tions hold true -AEhen there is an I'M
pleasant risk attended on the necessity OF
writing "ahead of time'' after facts are
elected; striving to put them in an in
viting form, very often in the shortest
time and way. Owing to the evanescent
character of locals there is in the compo-
sition drift toward carelessness of ex-
preston.
